from the usermod and passwd manual page
... This puts a ´!´ in front of the encrypted password ...
... by prefixing the encrypted string with an ! ...
What I have as an example
/etc/passwd:login:x:10000:10000::/home/login:/bin/bash
/etc/shadow:login:!!:15546:0:99999:7:::
and ssh with keys works fine
What is in Michaels passwd and shadow?
Maybe he does not use shadow passwords and the behaviour is different ?
Another thougt, are there any AVCs in /var/log/audit/audit.log, maybe it is a selinux issue?
Michael?
